"Those will all be Google shills correct?" Incorrect. My work, and EFF's work, to take two example, predate Google's involvement in public policy by 15 years. I understand that for "keyboard cowboys" it may be hard to understand that mere agreement with a corporation some of the time does not equal being a "shill" and does not entail agreeing with a corporation all the time. But those of us who actually do activism and public policy work know who we are and why we do it. In those contexts, I've never heard of you before. Tell us more about your activism and public-policy work! --Mike On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 5:42 AM, <wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: > Send Wikimedia-l mailing list submissions to > wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wikimedia-l-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Wikimedia-l digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
